Do you hear a click when you close the trunk?
I hear a click when I close the trunk. It sounds like something snapping into place. Is that normal or do you think something is misaligned? I have the electronic closer and don't remember that sound before. It comes and go but I can get it to make the sound even when pulling the trunk lid manually. I usually don't close it manually. I just did it to see if I can reproduce the noise.
The area where the lid arms go into is enclosed so I cannot see anything obvious. I did not want to pursue it more if it was a normal thing.
Thanks for any feedback.

Try looking at where the hinges go into the trunk panelling. There is a black plastic trim that goes around the hole. Sometimes they can pop off and hang inside. This will make a clicking noise as it rubs.
If it did indeed fall though, just pull it out ans snap it back into place.
